The rainfall in Darjeeling this year was good and cold weather settled in from the beginning of November.
The autumnal production period was very small and only for two weeks ending midle of November.
Most of the estates at higher altitude had stooped production by middle of November .Liitle production is expected upto 30 th November from the plantations at middle and lower altitudes and all the estates will stop production by end of November.
We liked teas from Castleton , Margaret,s Hope , Okayti ,Oaks ,Seeyok , Selimbong ,chamong , Pussimbing ,Lingia etc .
The teas from other estates are not very interesting.
